Microsoft's Surface 3 Promises Windows 10, Kills Windows RT

Microsoft today announced the Surface 3, a tablet that splits the difference between the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 3 in terms of features and price. It also effectively buries Windows RT. By switching from ARM processors to Intel, the Surface 3 is able to run Windows 8.1 with a Windows 10 upgrade on deck for later this year.

If you’ve had your eye on the newest Surface, I’m happy to report the wait is over. Surface 3 is now on sale in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States! New accessories, including Surface 3 Type Cover, Surface Pen, Surface 3 Docking Station and Surface 3 Screen Protector are also available for customizing your Surface 3 exactly the way you want. And starting May 7, Surface 3 will be available to even more people in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
